Why VolnaLogic

Stop switching tools. Start finishing matters.

Lawyers spend their day in Word, yet AI, precedents, research and filing live somewhere else. VolnaLogic closes the gap.

The old way

  • Hunt for the right precedent across shared drives and old emails.
  • Paste confidential text into generic chatbots with no audit trail.
  • Re-format every document by hand to match the firm style.
  • Save-as, rename, and manually file documents to client folders.
  • Miss unlimited-liability traps and absent clauses on a tight deadline.

With VolnaLogic inside Word

  • Open the firm's approved templates and fill every marker in one dialog.
  • AI runs inside your firm's secure, tenant-isolated workspace — with full audit logging.
  • One-click Auto Format applies your firm's headings, numbering and spacing.
  • Save As files straight into the right client & matter in your DMS.
  • Colour-coded HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW risk review, plus missing-clause detection.

Q: What is the notice requirement for terminating a fixed-term lease for breach?
Answer
The governing position depends on the lease terms and the applicable statute. A written breach notice affording a remedy period is generally required [statute / case] before cancellation. Areas where the law is unsettled are flagged separately…

Security & confidentiality

Privileged information deserves real protection.

VolnaLogic is engineered as a multi-tenant legal platform where the firm is the security boundary — not an afterthought.

Tenant isolation

Every record is scoped to your firm. Each firm gets its own private storage container.

OTP-verified sign-in

One-time codes by email or SMS that are rate-limited and single-use.

Live session control

Sessions are validated on every request and revoked instantly on logout, password reset or user deactivation.

All data encrypted

Your documents, client records and AI content are encrypted — protecting privileged information end to end.

Matter-level access

Role-based access: people see the matters they're assigned to and the clients linked to them.

Private blob storage

Documents live in private cloud storage and stream only through the authenticated API — no public URLs.

Immutable audit trail

Security and business events are logged so you can answer "who did what, and when."

AI safeguards

Prompt-injection flagging, model routing, verification warnings and provenance on every AI output.

AI supports lawyers — it doesn't replace them.

VolnaLogic labels AI output as a starting point to review. Reviews, drafts and research are designed to be checked by a qualified lawyer before use, and the add-in tells your team so in plain language.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Which versions of Office does it support?

VolnaLogic is a web-based Office Add-in built on the Office.js framework and registered as a trusted add-in with Word. It surfaces as a dedicated VolnaLogic tab in the Word ribbon with a task pane dashboard.

How do we install it?

Run the one-file Windows installer (VolnaLogic_Office_Setup). It registers the add-in with Word for the current user — no administrator rights needed — and can be uninstalled from the same installer.

Where is our data stored and who can see it?

All data is encrypted. Documents are held in private, per-firm cloud storage and are only streamed through the authenticated API. Access is limited by firm, role and matter assignment, and security events are written to an audit log.

How is VolnaLogic priced?

Subscriptions are based on the number of users, your AI token allowance and your storage space. Every feature is included in every subscription.

Does the AI replace lawyer review?

No. AI drafts, reviews and research are positioned as support tools, and the product reminds users to review before relying on them. Research instructions explicitly tell the model not to invent authorities.

Can it read scanned documents?

Yes. Scanned pages and images are read automatically on upload so they can be searched, summarised and analysed alongside native Word and PDF files.

Can we use our own templates, clauses and formatting?

Yes — that's the point. Upload your precedents, build a reusable clause library, and define firm style sets. Templates are analysed by AI for structure and are versioned so changes are tracked.

Does it work with how we file work today?

Documents are organised by Client → Matter, with optional reference codes (e.g. MAT-2026-0042), status tracking and user assignments. You can also save local .docx or .pdf copies, or load files from your computer or network drive.

Bring your firm's best work to every document.

Install VolnaLogic in minutes, sign in with a one-time code, and run your first AI review on the document you already have open.
